On Thursday, I woke up early and took out the trash, leaving the garage door open. Two hours later, carpet cleaners arrived. One of them located me as I worked behind the house. He said there was a big dead rat in my garage. Sure enough, it was the same one I'd killed the day before. Perplexed, I deducted the following:
1. A large bird or animal seized the carcass, but for some reason dropped it by chance in my garage.
2. A human being(s) walked onto my property, into the drainage ditch, picked up a big dead rat, and placed it inside my garage.
3. Using cosmic rays, aliens reanimated the rodent. Seeking revenge, it attacked but expired once more before reaching me.
4. A human being(s) walked onto my property, into the drainage ditch, picked up a big dead rat, and accidentally dropped it inside my garage enroute to taxidermy class.
Then there's this possibility.
I invite theories.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Was it the painters? Are they still there? Have they been paid?
Do you have a mystery cat? Cats can be very mysterious.
We do have a large bobcat that has staked out our yard. I don't contest the critter, because he eats all the right things. But he's pretty skittish and tends to avoid Mankind.
The painters were paid.
Maybe someone got me mixed up with a Mafia stoolie. But they use canaries, I think.
Hmmmmm.
Or a horse's head. Or a fish!
Here. I think perhaps I can solve your mystery.
You may be getting a hurricane soon. If so, it's the bobcat.

If two more show up, I'll start shuttering the windows.
Rumor has it y'all just had a Minor Wind Event.
But I take it no more rats have surfaced.
This doesn't necessarily mean your resident bobcat isn't a qualified Weather Cat.
Perhaps this was only a Force One Rat storm?
Yes, and, perhaps, it will be the last of many wind events up here.
Nothing to compare with yours, but significent in their own gusty way.
